I'm 88 yrs.old. I brought charges in the domestic violence court.The court issued a summons
to my son-in-law and daughter to appear in court.They were not able to be served by sherriff.
Three more time the court issued alias summons and was not served.The court had me
publish notice in the Daley law bulletin.They still did not answer.The next court date I was given
a waiver.On the last court date. The judge ask me if was afraid of them, which I said yes.The judged
ruled that there was enought evidence that she will be granted two yrs. protection of court.The
respondant brought their attrorney that charges were false and should be void.I have to appear
again.The charges are physical and emotional abuse.harrassement and expoiltation. I do have
two sons who are witness. Question? do I need a attorney? Thank you.
I would strongly recommend it. I would also strongly recommend exploring resources available to victims of elder abuse. Illinois' Department of Human Services has an Elder Abuse Hotline (866-800-1409) which takes calls regarding abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of individuals older than 60 years of age. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office (312-603-8600) also investigates financial exploitation of the elderly.
Feel free to call me to discuss this. I won't charge for the phone call.
